You mean power output, e.g., KWatts, I guess per unit of time?fresh_42 said:Not even the power supply is linear.
I remember that we built a clock at school in physics. We used the power supply as a pulse generator. I know ever since that what comes out of the wall is more a random number generator than anything stable.WWGD said:You mean power output, e.g., KWatts, I guess per unit of time?
I'm still running windows 7 and have been using this to keep windows 10 from doing it's thing:Borg said:I finally figured out how to stop Windows 10 from updating to feature build 2004 whose "security enhancements" include things like lots of in-your-face options to save your data to Microsoft's OneDrive and new abilities to blog from your Outlook email. Since when does an OS security enhancement have to go into desktop applications, completely redesign them (updated Office 2019 to Office 365), change all of the layouts and add new security holes?
Here's the link for anyone who's interested in stopping the 2004 feature build from installing:

How do you do without the security patches/updates?dlgoff said:I'm still running windows 7 and have been using this to keep windows 10 from doing it's thing:
GWX Control Panel
I upgraded a W7 laptop to W10 and my old scanner still worked fine. Then had to get a new W10 laptop. According to everything I could find, there is no way to get that scanner to work with W10.dlgoff said:I'm still running windows 7 and have been using this to keep windows 10 from doing it's thing
I use windows update every once in a while.WWGD said:How do you do without the security patches/updates?
Does that update security patches?dlgoff said:I use windows update every once in a while.

Still, I assume win 7 will not be supported indefinitely. What do you do then?dlgoff said:yep
Sometimes, switching backward works surprisingly well.WWGD said:Still, I assume win 7 will not be supported indefinitely. What do you do then?
I'm not even using it now. I'm using Google Chrome.WWGD said:Still, I assume win 7 will not be supported indefinitely. What do you do then?
Sorry, did not mean to hound you, just curious. So you're using chrome as your OS and not just a browser?dlgoff said:I'm not even using it now. I'm using Google Chrome.
Don't worry, you're still pretty far from asking for the latest version of the interwebs. Or heiling a cab and asking : " Quick, take me to the internet!" ;).dlgoff said:No, my mistake. I'm actually using windows 7 as my operating system. Now I feel really dumb.![]()
Give GWX Control Panel a try. That will probably stop that server from asking all the time. There are lots of options built into the program.WWGD said:@dlgoff : I am sort on the same boat you are with Windows: SQL Server keeps prompting me to " upgrade"( update). I am comfortable with the present version and doing my best to avoid updating.
I gave up on them at first because of this:kyphysics said:Rant of the Day:
Ebay delivery sucks. I average about 10 days for getting stuff (from date of purchase to delivered). Fastest, I think has been 6 days. The longer ones are fully 14 days (two weeks).
I only go with them, b/c they sell stuff you can't find on Amazon. Rare stuff. Although, I am opposed to Amazon's treatment of warehouse workers, so there's that too. Wish I could combine Amazon's speed with Ebay's hard-to-find stuff and have happy workers.
